By packing as much internal space into as small of a footprint as possible, and with a miser-spec engine hauling it all, kei cars have proliferated in Japan thanks to hefty taxation of larger cars, tiny parking spots in urban areas, narrow streets, and high fuel prices. Only a few, like the Suzuki Mighty Boy, managed to venture overseas.

There are some good reasons for that, too. Besides that, kei cars are tiny. Truly miniscule, and built for smaller people as well - the average Caucasian would struggle to fit. Even though some kei cars offer surprisingly spacious interiors, components like its seat sliders, steering columns, and seatbelt anchorages are more suited to accommodate people of more compact proportions.

Cool rig, but must have cost Suzuki a packet to develop given its high-end chassis tech. Good thing the Japanese auto industry was flush with cash in the late s when the Cappuccino was being brewed.

The N-One is retro done right. As a pint-sized homage to the Honda N, one of Honda's first kei cars and one that actually came to Australia as the Honda Scamp, the N-One nails the brief by delivering a modern interpretation of the original's 60s styling cues and silhouette.
